Business Outlook

Pros

* Executives and management have a focus on improving employee's needs and retention. * Technologically advanced company, which makes adoption of new tools and techniques exciting. * Great benefits and fair pay. * Very intelligent executives who know how to run a business that survives so the stability is off the charts!

Cons

* Sometimes middle management is not cutthroat enough to fire poor performers. * Middle management adopts a method for recognition and advancement in which they ensure they are visible to executive leadership, instead of the team which limits potential / ideas in many departments. * Management training is mediocre. A lot of the hold hands and sign Kumbaya and just do what the finances dictate.

Good company as long as you have good managers.

Pros

Sony is somewhat conservative yet loose like a DOT com. While your benefits package may not be as high as the big DOT coms, it is very hard to be laid off or fired at SIE unless you really do a lot to warrant it.

Cons

Because it is so hard to fire / let go, there are sometimes long time employees who get burned out but won't leave and drag some people down.
